In The CIA World Factbook 2013, were informa- tion about 195 countries (generally available as of June 2012) is laid out, the presentation of Croatia in comparison to the world gives some interesting insights:

Croatia is a small country by its area and popula- tion - but roughly one third of the 195 presented countries is smaller than Croatia, both by area and population.

Croatia’s net migration rate is not alarming (altho the migrants age structure could be so) - but Croatia’s total fertility rate is clearly alarming.

Croatia has higher GDP and GDPppp than two thirds of the world counties - but Croatia’s GDP real growth rate is currently among the worst in the world.

Most of the Croatia’s economic and related para- meters (like transportation and communications) are in line with its GDP - but its industrial produc- tion growth rate is troublesome.

Croatia keeps inflation under control, better than 88% of the world - but its Gini index is worse than 64% of the world.
